[GUIDE] How to Place/Receive FREE USA VoIP/SIP Calls on your Galaxy Tab

Hi Folks, having the need to place and receive free calls via VoIP/SIP while I was out of the US. I just research and search a few and end up with this a solution. So below is a handy guide of how to place/receive free calls to any phone on the USA while out abroad or just being on the USA via 3G or WIFI connection.

This process help out people who bought the GT by their own and don’t have a data plan or just want to place and receive calls to any phone when had poor reception or on vacations…. the possibilities are huge!

So, let’s get started!

How it Works?

As we know we can place Free GV calls on our PC’s to every number within the USA. So International numbers apply? Well NO, but we can, that’s the reason of this guide.

As I mentioned before with this solution we could place and receive free calls from any USA not matter we are on the world ever we get a 3G or WIFI connection so this is an economic way to be in contact with our people and don’t hurt our pockets with roaming charges.

1st Step – Activating our Google Voice number!

-As we know GV only accepts users from the USA and if we are out we get this message:

This means the GV system know our IP address isn’t from the USA and don’t let us proceed with the registration. So we need to change the IP for one of the USA.

How I do register a GV account?

-We need to get a FREE USA #. In my case I used IPKALL (ipkall.com), once you get registered we need to get a SIP (Session Internet Protocol), this is what will let us have a session to place and receive calls.

-To get a SIP# enter on Callcentric site (callcentric.com) and create an account. Then you will receive an email with the SIP account information.

-Then enter to your IPKALL account and enter the callcentric information you received on your email and save it.

-Download Express Talk software to your PC from (http://download.cnet.com/Express-Talk/3000-2349_4-10400187.html) and install it.

-Once installed go to Options > Lines and enter the callcentric information:

Display Name: YOUR NAME

Server: CALLCENTRIC.COM

SIP#: YOUR CALLCENTRIC #

Password: YOUR CALLCENTRIC PASSWORD​

-Download HotSpot Shield (hotspotshield.com) to your PC to change your IP address (it change automatically), once you get it installed go to your web browser and delete Cookies.

-Enter to the Google Voice activation: If HotSpot is running it will let you activate your account. So start choosing your GV and PIN #.

-Then GV will ask you for a Forward Call #, enter the IPKALL one. GV will make a call to that number and it will ring on Express Talk softphone on your PC. Accept the call and enter the digits google will give you.

-GOOGLE ACTIVATION DONE!

OK, by now we could place and receive free calls from GV to any USA # from our computer.

STEPS TO PLACE AND RECEIVE CALLS ON MY ANDROID

-Download the following Apps from Market: Google Voice, GVoice Callback and CSipSimple.

-On GVoice Callback configure: When to use Callback to your preference, then place your Google Username and Password, then on Callback# put your IPKALL# and done.

-On CSipSimple go to Menu > Accounts and ADD ACCOUNT. Under United States search Callcentric and put your Callcentric information (CC# and Password) and Save.

By now we could place/receive FREE calls to/from USA#. Also you could receive free Calls on every place you were in the World. You could place calls to #s outside the USA at the Google Voice low rates saving bucks from Roaming charges. Just remember give your IPKALL number to all your contacts.

In my case I had configured my cell, if I don’t answer the incoming call on my cell it will forward the call to my GT.

I hope this help you guys!!!!
